Senior Badminton

On Thursday 31st of July, the senior girls and boys competed in Interschool Badminton.

Nineteen students participated in matches against schools from across the Geelong region. Our second girls and first boys teams played very well but unfortunately did not make it through to the final. Our first girls team of Jasmine, King, Maria, Majahbin, Liling, and Sathana made it through to the Grand Final and played against Northern Bay College. The matches were close, and North Geelong eventually won two matches to one. All students represented the College extremely well, consistently displaying the school value of respect and achievement. Well done to all the players who made it through. 

The Senior Girls #1 team played in the Western Metro region finals on Tuesday 5th August at the Altona Badminton Centre. Up against teams from Suzanne Cory, Homestead Senior College and Gisborne Secondary College, the girls found it challenging, especially having to play singles (when only doubles are played in Geelong). They tried hard and managed to win their last match against Gisborne SC. Well done for making it the zone finals!

Senior Boys and Girls Table Tennis

Last week, Thursday 31st July, saw the Senior Boys and Girls participate in the interschool Table Tennis competition. The girls, with a tradition of playing together over the past few years, had a lot of fun and won some of their games, but not enough to finish on top of their pool. Well done to Lillah, Dayna, Sadie, Marli, Mikayla and Chelsea - thanks for representing the College in such a positive manner.

The boys had greater success, winning all of their matches to finish on top of their pool. They played against Grovedale College in the final and won all six matches. Congratulations to Niksa, Ethan, Louis, Lukas and Ekansh (who is only in Year 7!) for also representing the College in an exemplary manner.

Senior Boys Table Tennis - Western Metro finals

Wednesday 6th August saw the Senior Boys Table Tennis return to the Geelong Table Tennis Centre to take on teams from Suzanne Cory, Point Cook Senior College and Alice Miller School. Our boys played extremely well to end up on top of their pool. They played in a semi-final and advanced to the grand final - coming out winners! Congratulations to all the boys, particularly Niksa and Ekansh who were undefeated throughout the whole tournament. Bring on the State finals next week!

Senior Boys Soccer - Western Metro finals

The Senior Boys Soccer team earned the privilege to represent the Barwon/Bellarine district after defeating Western Heights last week. On Tuesday 5th August, after an early start to get on the road, they travelled to City Vista Recreation Reserve to take on Islamic College of Melbourne, Williamstown College and Staughton College. 

The first game saw them lose to Islamic College 1-0; then a draw with Williamstown College and finally, a triumphant victory over Staughton College 5-0, kick started by an extraordinary goal from the kick-off by Vuk.

The team played well in all games, but just couldn't score when it counted (until the last game). Congratulations on making it this far!
